Low-income families earning under $30,000 pay just $9,732 annually, while wealthy families above $110,000 still pay $51,525. Over four years, costs range from roughly $39,000 to $206,000 depending on family income.

Graduates leave with a manageable $18,257 in median debt. Monthly loan payments of $194 represent less than 4% of the typical $65,222 salary ten years out. The Block Plan's intensive one-course structure helps 86% finish in four years, avoiding extra tuition costs. Only 24% of students need federal loans.
